Don’t worry, it’ll be back soon 😆. I wonder about bass in a double garage. It’s a big space, which will be a reason you thought you lost some from the other room. Suggest getting a 10” sub or two and integrating them. (Later you might need more soft furnishing and carpet, maybe bass traps, maybe room correction). Next I’d suggest a streamer and a Spotify or Roon subscription. That buys you a lot more music than vinyl and an easy way to find new music. Blue sound node 2 (without the ‘i’) will be about $500 on here. Second hand equipment is better value if you don’t need the latest and greatest. The loss on resale is far less.

Bugger. It didn’t introduce any noise that I can remember.

Item: UMIK-1 mic Location: Melbourne Price: $90 plus postage Item Condition: Excellent Reason for selling: Using DEQX Payment Method: Pickup - Cash, Paypal, COD Only Extra Info: I bought this new in 2018 to go with a mini-DSP that is also up for sale. These two items provided good room correction and improved the bass. Photos:

Item: miniDSP 2x4 HD Location: Melbourne Price: $160 Item Condition: Excellent Reason for selling: NLR Payment Method: Pickup - Cash, Paypal, COD Only Extra Info: These will fix your bass and sort your subs out. Too much bass is terrible, so is too little. Bought two years ago and sat at back of cupboard. Photos:

Item: Sony WH-1000XM2 Wireless Noise Cancelling Headphones - Black Location: Melbourne Price: $150 plus postage Item Condition: Excellent Reason for selling: Not used Payment Method: Pickup - Cash, Paypal, COD Extra Info: If you want noise cancelling, these are a good choice. Much better than Bose. I’ve heard the newer version and couldn’t hear a difference. I took them on one overseas trip and the noise cancelling is excellent. I prefer my IEMs for travel because they fit in my pocket so these never got much use. They do fold up nicely though. Photos:

Item: Oppo pm3 and ha2se headphone amp Location: Melbourne Price: $330 plus postage, PayPal fees Item Condition: Excellent Reason for selling: Enough headphones Payment Method: Pickup - Cash, Paypal, COD Extra Info: See previous ad from December. I had buyers for both but they fell through. Still $369 at Minidisc for the headphones and $499 at Jaben for the amp. Note a cord is missing from the amp (see original ad). Photos:

Bill’s cords are awesome value. A lot of people use them around here.

It’s like iTunes but with better functionality, album art and artist info, and a better user interface. You can upscale with it and use it for room correction. It is the only way to play Tidal for some network players, like the SMS200. It makes your digital music collection look good. If you don’t have a digital collection it is probably it worth it. https://roonlabs.com

Yeah Roon is definitely not necessary for all.

Great. What system are you using?

@aussievintage this is what I see. You might have chosen the wrong one to start with.
